MICHIGAN CENTRAL STATION

Opened in 1913, Michigan Central Station is one of the most majestic and historic buildings in Detroit. After several decades of neglect and decay, the announcement in 2018 that Ford Motor Corporation has purchased the building and intends to restore it as part of a revitalized Corktown campus is wonderfully exciting news!
NOTE: The photos in this set were taken 2006-2010 when the station was in its greatest state of despair--wide open with scrappers and vandals coming and going as they pleased. My goal was to document the entire building before talk of its demolition became reality. With new plans to restore the building by 2022, I hope that this set will be the "before" images to a story with a happy ending.
